Welcome back! In our last article we discussed about trading of medicinal plants as a part of commercialization and its possible benefits. But, sometimes favorable land type for cultivation and timely harvesting is not available. And even if you get it, it may not be sufficient enough to expand your business.

India is a country where herbal remedies are always preferred first before visiting a doctor. And even some of the physicians also suggest use of old Ayurvedic remedies along with the allopathic drugs. Also, in case of beauty regimens herbal treatments are the first choice.

Especially, the pharma industry has become of huge importance and hence on this platform students are also focusing on pharma sector as their career choice. But it is important to choose your college wisely. Being a pharmacist myself, I know the importance of learning from a right college, because along with the academics the values that you learn from your college help you to be a better person. Some colleges only concentrate on their academics and some colleges focus on academics as well as student development.  I completed my graduation from Dr. D.Y.Patil College of Pharmacy, Akurdi. A college where I was developed not only as a pharmacist, but also a...

You need to go through numerous references, practical work, errors, corrections, documentation, and disappointments and so on. The list is so long.
